No, it was a MkI version of the LA-150 with the Russian tubes. I found this version of the LA-150 to be much more neutral, but slightly more detailed as well versus the LA-100m MkIII. The LA-100 MkIII tends to be a bit more neutral than most tube preamps I have heard, but is definitely one of the most musical preamps I have heard as well. What it sacrifices in detail versus the LA-150 MkI, and it's not much, it makes up for in musicality. My understanding is Jud changed the circuit in the LA-150 MkII to replace the Russian tubes with 6350s, giving the unit a more musical sound and better extension. I'd love to hear one of these versions for comparative purposes.
